This week's photo is the first military photogaph I've included. Dan's collection does have a number of images of military craft but it was often harder to photograph these ships during the wartime for obvious reasons and they are definitely outnumbered by the puffers and sailing vessels.

This is picture of the HMS Geranium which was a Flower class corvette launched in 1940 and built by William Simons & Co. in Renfrew.


After the end of the Second World War she was sold to the Royal Danish Navy. They renamed her Thetis and she was scrapped in 1963.
